We all know who Mickey’s friends are, but what about his family? Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse are Mickey Mouse’s nephews while Amelia Fieldmouse is Mickey’s sister and Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse’s mother.

He dislikes being called a rat and being taken advantage of, villains and his friends doing bad

Although Mickey is usually shown to have magic powers with the Sorcerer Hat of Yen Sid, it is shown that Mickey can control magic without aid.

Mickey is physically very strong, fast, and most notably, flexible, all of which seems to border on a superhuman scale.

Mickey made his first appearance in Steamboat Willie, a short black-and-white animation in which music and sound effects were synchronized. The date on which it premiered – 18 November 1928 – is recognised as Mickey’s official ‘birthday’.

Mickey’s first-ever spoken line was “Hot Dogs!” in The Karnival Kid (1929). That’s the reason for his “Hot Dog Dance”!

His first makeover by animator Fred Moore gave him a pear-shaped body and a shorter nose, and introduced Mickey’s trademark white gloves – first seen in The Pointer in 1939. During this time, and again during the post-World War II period, Mickey’s appearance gradually changed to resemble the Mickey Mouse we know and love today.
